The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 128

Kelvin bent slightly towards Sunny, and his face was composed with a respectful look.

"I'm sorry, Miss He. Mrs. Gu is out on business. I don't know when she'll return."

Sunny felt a little disappointed at hearing that. She looked at the villa and was filled with disappointment as she left.

On the second floor of the villa

Standing in front of the window and looking at the departing figure, Freya could not help but become gloomy. She lowered her head to examine the photo in her hand. If Kelvin hadn't told her that the child in the photo was called Jay Ning, she would have nearly believed that it was a photo taken of Kerr when he was a child.

"What are you doing?"

Jack's cold voice spoke up behind her. It seemed that Freya had become accustomed to it, since she did not turn around at all when she heard him.

"Forget about Kerr and that girl."

Freya knew that Kerr had a crush on Nicole, and she knew that Jack would certainly object. She hadn't really worried much about her son as a child, but this time she wanted to help Kerr to fulfill his dreams.

It was also because she didn't want Kerr to turn into a second Jack.

"Do you even know what you are saying?"

Looking at Freya's back, a trace of anger emerged on Jack's face. 'Why did Kerr go against my wishes? And now, will Freya also help Kerr to rebel?'

"You know better than me what I am talking about, Jack. You and I reached this point only because of a marriage certificate. You know very well that the so-called love and harmony that we show others is only a pretense.

I know that you have never loved me, not since the day you married me. You don't love anyone but yourself. I don't want Kerr to become a second you.

I have never ever disobeyed you. But this time, I will support Kerr. This is my gift to him as compensation for my dereliction and irresponsibility as his mother."

Freya turned around to look at him. They had been married for more than twenty years. It was the first time that they had spoken so honestly or lengthily in private.

"Nonsense. If Kerr dares to be with that woman, I will kick him out of the Gu family. He doesn't deserve to be the successor of the Gu family!"

Jack said, looking at her with his eyes soaked in disappointment.

He had thought that Freya was a sensible and reasonable woman, but now it appeared that she was only a soft-hearted soul.

"Are you crazy, Jack? Kerr is your only biological son. Will you leave the Gu family to just anyone else? Or do you count on Moore Gu? Your loyal adopted son?"

In fact, deep in her heart, Freya had always known that Jack held a very high opinion of Moore Gu. If he had been born as Jack's biological son, then the heir of the Gu family might not have been Kerr.

"Compared with that trouble-making Kerr, Moore is more suitable to be the successor of the Gu family."

Jack turned around and left the bedroom. He stalked into the study and sat down. Then he reached behind him to open the hidden wall safe. He hadn't opened the safe in more than ten years.

Now that he had opened it again, he took out a stack of paper. Due to the ravages of time, the handwriting on it had become blurred, but he would never forget what was written on it.

Night fell. When Kerr was about to leave the office, his desk phone rang. He stopped and turned to answer the phone.

"Brother."

On hearing the respectful voice on the other end of the line, he ended the call without any hesitation and strode out of the office.

The car parked at the gate of the hospital. Kerr took the bunch of white roses from the front passenger seat and walked towards the ward where Jay was recovering.

He pushed the door open, but Nicole wasn't there.

"Mommy hasn't come back yet. Uncle Gu, you've come back early."

Turning his face to one side, Jay snickered when he saw the expectancy on Kerr's face turn to disappointment.

"I'll go pick her up."

Kerr lay the flowers on the table and walked out. Taking his cell phone, he dialed Nicole's number, but nobody answered. He frowned.
